  • Rasmussen Poll: 27% of Democrats favor prosecuting ‘global warming’ skeptics – 63% of all Americans say debate is not over

    'Just over one-in-four Democrats (27%), however, favor prosecuting those who don’t agree with global warming.'

    'Unchanged is the 63% who say that debate is not done yet. Thirteen percent (13%) are not sure.'

  • In Their Zeal to Go after Exxon, Warmists Erase Scientists’ Early Caution on Global Warming

    'Predictably, Oreskes and McKibben draw a different conclusion, one entirely unsupported by the evidence.'

  • ‘The Climate Mafia Rewrites Science History’: ‘RICO statute was passed to fight the mafia. Now it’s being used by the climate mafia to silence dissent’

    Contrary to what Oreskes and McKibben believe, unearthing the thoughts of Exxon scientists from the late 1970s and 1980s illustrates a tendency among some scientists — even those in the pay of an oil company — to be prone to alarmism and to overstate what is known. Predictably, Oreskes and McKibben draw a different conclusion, one entirely unsupported by the evidence. Had Exxon been up-front about the dangers of global warming, we might have started to decarbonize decades ago, Oreskes argues. Instead, Exxon had behaved like tobacco companies who had “long delayed” public understanding by suppressing the truth about the deadly nature of their products.

    Democrat Sen. Whitehouse: Use RICO Laws to Prosecute Global Warming Skeptics

    Sen. Whitehouse (D-RI): 'In 2006, Judge Gladys Kessler of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia decided that the tobacco companies’ fraudulent campaign amounted to a racketeering enterprise...The parallels between what the tobacco industry did and what the fossil fuel industry is doing now are striking.'

  • Watch Now: Morano in lively TV climate debate with enviro lobbyist: ‘The points she just made are demonstrably not true’
    Watch Now: Morano in lively TV climate debate with enviro lobbyist: ‘The points she just made are demonstrably not true’

    Watch: The Uncomfortable Pause; Warmist EDF climate expert explains lack of global warming: ‘I, the, yeh, uhh…’

    Heartland Institute reviews debate: 'Morano brought the facts — relentlessly and firmly. Andress was criminally uninformed for someone in her position. She spent so much time stammering, everyone who is a part of EDF or supports it should be embarrassed.'

    Morano: 'The UN would like you to think there is no debate. The IPCC is a political body masquerading as a science body. And the points EDF's Carol Andress just made are demonstrably not true...On climate timescales of 50-100 [extreme weather] is either falling short of predictions or going in the opposite direction.'

    Morano: 'Climate is governed by hundreds of factors...CO2 is not the control knob of the climate. That is where the debate is and the idea that it is settled is absurd. There are so many scientists dissenting.' - The UN IPCC has an agenda. They openly say they want to redistribute wealth by climate policy. So they are using the science as a partisan political campaign effort for centralized government planning through the United Nations. It's a self enrichment tool, self-interest tool and a way they can be in charge of the developing world's development.'

  • Dems tie climate skeptics to tobacco, lead backers

    Two Democratic lawmakers held a briefing Thursday to argue that climate change skeptics use similar arguments and tactics to those who believed that tobacco and lead are not harmful. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Rep. Henry Waxman (R-Calif.) said similar conservative interests have been behind many of movements that have been discredited,

  • Climatologist Dr. Roger Pielke Sr.: ‘This AAAS report is an embarrassment to the scientific community’ – Declares report includes ‘blatant advocacy and absurd statements’

    Pielke Sr.: 'The AAAS report is even worse than the AGU and AMS Statements (and I thought that would be hard to do)' -- 'They also ignore the recent recognition of the heightened importance of natural climate forcings and feedbacks.'

    Rips AAAS for linking Tobacco to CO2: 'The science linking human activities to climate change is analogous to the science linking smoking to lung and cardiovascular diseases.' show that this report is just political theater. There are no health benefits from smoking, only health risks. CO2 is required for life on Earth including plant growth and function...to directly COMPARE to the health risks of tobacco demeans the scientific stature of this who make such wild claims.'

  • Statistical politics: Prof. Mike Hulme on ‘politically charged’ climate baseline changes from 1961-1990 to 1991-2020: ‘In an instant; today, the world’s climate has ‘suddenly’ become nearly 0.5°C warmer’

    Hulme: "January  12021, a new World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) climatological standard normal came into effect. The ‘present-day’ climate will now formally be
    represented by the meteorological statistics of the period 1991-2020, replacing those from 1961-1990. National Meteorological Agencies in member states are instructed to issue new standard normals for observing stations and for associated climatological products. Climate will ‘change’, one might say, in an instant; today, the world’s climate has ‘suddenly’ become nearly 0.5°C warmer. It is somewhat equivalent to re-setting Universal Time or adjusting the exact definition of a metre." ...

    "So, what is the significance of the move to a new 1991-2020 WMO normal in January 2021? On the one hand, it is a pragmatic move to redefine ‘present-day’ climate for operational applications to that of the most recent 30-year period. On the other hand, it puts into play a third climatic baseline. Already existing is the ‘pre-industrial’ climate of the late nineteenth century and the ‘historic’ climate’ of 1961-1990, the latter about 0.3°C warmer than the former. And now there is the new ‘present-day’ climate of 1991-2020, in turn about 0.5°C warmer than the ‘historic climate’ of 1961-1990." ...

    "Combining a climatic tolerance of 2°C—or indeed 1.5°C—with a pre-industrial baseline yields a very different climate target than, say, using a 1986-2005 baseline, the period widely adopted by IPCC AR5 Working Group I as their analytical baseline. The choices of both baseline and tolerance are politically charged. They carry significant implications for historic liability for emissions (La Rovere et al., 2002), for policy design (Millar et al., 2017) and for possible reparations (Roberts & Huq, 2015)."

  • A new temperature pause? Zero global warming for 5 years 4 months

    Christopher Monckton: "At long last, following the warming effect of the El Niño of 2016, there are signs of a reasonably significant La Niña, which may well usher in another Pause in global temperature, which may even prove similar to the Great Pause that endured for 224 months from January 1997 to August 2015, during which a third of our entire industrial-era influence on global temperature drove a zero trend in global warming. ... As we come close to entering the la Niña, the trend in global mean surface temperature has already been zero for 5 years 4 months. 

    However, the new Pause is at a surface-temperature plateau 0.3 C° above the old Pause." 

  • What Global Warming? 148 New (2020) Scientific Papers Affirm Recent Non-Warming – A Degrees-Warmer Past

    Scientists continued defying the “unprecedented” global warming narrative by publishing nearly 150 papers  in 2020 that show large regions of the Earth (a) haven’t warmed in recent decades, (b) were as-warm or warmer within the last several centuries, and/or (c) were 1-7°C warmer than today just a few millennia ago.

  • Shock graph of rising CO2 emissions despite ‘planet-saving’ UN climate pacts shows ‘farce’ of ‘climate action’ Shock graph of rising CO2 emissions despite ‘planet-saving’ UN climate pacts shows ‘farce’ of ‘climate action’

    Greanpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore: "What a farce the IPCC Paris Accord and all previous 'agreements' to reduce CO2 emissions have been. If only the collective billionaire-class would recognize that CO2 is entirely beneficial we could get on with making the world a better place."

    Climate Depot's Marc Morano: "Get ready for more futility as the Green New Deal will continue meaningless 'climate action.'"
